A doodle of a bad pun? How positively analog of us.

Hung up on the name? Well, what’s in a name? An iPad by any other name would still scrub Flash content as sweet. And most VES concentrators would agree… that bezel is fugly. But anyone who’s been in a large lecture hall knows that this school is chock full o’ Apple whores (er, SteveJobstitutes?).  So we know some of you will at least think about buying it. Is it honestly worth it? And amidst our iphones/ipods/ and MacBook( Pro)s, what could this possibly add to the already complex student experience? The reasons are sometimes subtler than you might think but here’s how this blogger sees it:

Rah-rah ah-ah-ah!

Well it’s Affordable? Kind of.

Yeah. So it’s not exactly friendly to those of us here on need-based scholarships. But at $499 you could waive part of your university health insurance, and even have enough left over to get those f*cking adapters (USB, really?). Just hope you never need a UHS prescription. [Note: avoid sweaty finals clubs where fist-pumping shirtless man-boys could fling body sweat into your face and give you conjunctivitis. Is that paranoid? Not if you can’t afford the copay.] Read the rest of this entry »

In spite of the snow and bitter cold, Anne Hathaway, honored as the Hasty Pudding Theatrical Club’s Woman of the Year made her way down Massachusetts Avenue this afternoon to a large crowd of excited Harvard students and local fans. She was all smiles, dressed in a cute red pea-coat to match the red Maserati she was in with other members of the club. There were also people on stilts and a marching band was involved.

We love you Anne Hathaway!

Anne Hathaway, voted Woman of the Year by the Hasty Pudding Theatrical Club, will be in Cambridge today in the award’s annual parade. Catch it at 2:30 on Mass Ave.

According to the online magazine Asylum, Boston comes in at #1 for the most depressing local news. That beats NYC, LA, EVEN DETROIT.

What with machete men on the loose, an elderly woman getting taken out by a firetruck hose…we guess we can see where they’re coming from.BUT WE’RE UPBEAT. YEAH? YEAH???

I think it’s safe to say that most of the things that are sold on Skymall are pretty ridiculous. But, of course, there are those that are so absolutely absurd that they must be celebrated in some capacity.

In lieu of the popularity associated with the Snuggie and the Slanket it only makes sense that someone made a cocoon, put a NASA-esque stamp on it, and said people should zip themselves and their babies into a bag to fly. Can you imagine sitting next to someone that actually puts this on and is in it for the entirety of the flight? What if they were on the aisle seat and you had to get out and go to the bathroom? Accidental cocoon lap dance methinks. Clearly that’s why it was made. It’s not like you can get up quickly when you’re ZIPPED INSIDE OF AN IN-FLIGHT BODY BAG SNUGGIE.

Ah, but of course it gets better–because what would life be without necklaces for alcoholics? Why hold your wine when you can wear it! I don’t know about you guys but this is clearly the next pimp cup. WHO SAID LANYARDS WEREN’T COOL? Just wait–all the freshmen will bust out those orientation week lanyards, but now…they will drink from them. Actually, perhaps what is most disconcerting is that there’s a review for this product. No less a one star review. WELL NO DUH ANON REVIEWER, DID YOU REALLY THINK WALKING AROUND WITH A GLASS FULL OF WINE ON YOUR NECK WAS GOING TO GET YOU FRIENDS?

And now, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce:

Because everyone is that lazy. And that’s why people get fat…and need this:

I mean it looks awesome, but….uh….all I can hear in my head when people say it is TAMPAX TAMPAX TAMPAX.

I still want to play with one. What do you think of this thing? Worth buying? Or simply a cool gadget that doesn’t have any true purpose.

the iPad in my mind
